Hi,
I have a HTC One XL (from Telstra, I'm Australian).
I've dropped my phone and due to this it's damaged.
The housing/ back cover has been damaged (chipped, scuff marks etc) and the LCD screen has cracked.
I'd like to replace the housing/ back cover and the LCD.
The problem is finding a replacement housing/ back cover.
I can only find a replacement for the One X only on eBay. But nothing for the One XL?
I believe the One X and One XL have slightly different dimensions.
Also, I've read somewhere that the One X and One XL have different housings/ back covers due to the different antenna design found in the One XL.
Does anyone have any advice/ information regarding the housing/ back cover?
Thank you.

Unbreakable? No. My one x fell out of my pocket when I was sitting on a chair and landed face down and it has cracks in the top left and bottom right

Gorilla glass should be able to take the usual knocks and bumps. Don't go in complaining about the back case, which is a US$50 piece of nothing, go in complaining that the screen broke under normal usage, that has to be warranty repair then. Otherwise, because the entire mid-frame and board assembly is anchored to the gorilla glass, you are looking at buying a whole new phone. Alternatively, go in with the death-pinch complaint. That nearly always works. Pinch the top right quadrant of the phone between thumb and forefinger, and see if your wifi signal strength increases. If so, or even if not so, you can get a replacement based upon the embarrassingly awful design of the bluetooth/wifi antenna coupling-spring. Do a google search for "htc one x death grip". It's still the best phone on the market BTW, even if they are calling it the One XL now, because their marketing guys do not know how to brand a phone model without causing massive confusion and lots of badly fitting cases... Don't get me started. Aaaaagggghhhh!

Thanks for your contribution, but I don't think anything you said is correct.
These phones are NOT designed to be dropped; you can tell, they have massive glass fronts. Dropping one's phone is not considered "normal usage" regardless of how clumsy one might be.
The LCD CAN be separated from the board.
Most phones DO NOT have the "WiFi grip of life" problem, and it doesn't require a replacement, just a small modification.
The One X and the One XL have always been different. Then AT&T and Rogers called their One XL the One X, which is a huge fail.
I think the camera module is slightly lower on the one xl compared to the one x.
Well, getting my One X screen replaced by a local company didn't go very well. Ended up with one of the cheapo ones where the digitizer is not bonded to the LCD (at all), so you get an "inverse bubble" in the middle of the screen if you press on it (to clean it for example). Now it's sticking and stops the touchscreen working! Clearly I will get a refund, but now I need alternatives. Tried a few other repair companies, but none will say if they use a proper machine-bonding method to join the LCD and digitizer.
Have any of you sent your One X off to HTC for a screen replacement? They refuse to give any kind of quote over the phone - just that if I have it picked up and looked at, and I then decide the repair cost is too high, they charge £30.00 to return the phone.
Alternatively, do any of you know a supplier (that ships worldwide), that has the genuine bonded digitizer+LCD screen? ebay is full of the cheap ones that are separate.

I'm pretty sure HTC charge around £170 for a new display, although they may charge more given it has already been repaired poorly. As far as I know they get the displays already bonded as one unit.
To be honest, you might have been better off selling it on Ebay for spares and purchasing another brand new phone, there is one on Ebay with a completely smashed screen at almost £200.00 with 12 bids and still time to go, so they are in demand even when damaged.

Hi,
I damages my one X in a bicycle accident a while back. It could have been worse, there is a crack in the bezel, the screen has delaminated causing the middle of the touch screen to not respond, the casing is badly damaged.
I have still been using it as it works mostly fine, but I think it's time to do something about it.
So I understand I just need to replace the lcd touch screen unit, the bezel and the housing. I can get all this off ebay for just under £100.
So the question is, do I risk doing it myself, or do I take it to a much more expensive repair shop?
Personally I think I would mess it up, but I'm only 16 so I can not really afford to pay over double. Perhaps I could buy the parts and see if I could get someone to do it for me and only charge for labour?
I don't really know, so I'd like to hear people's opinions on what I should do and people's past experiences.
Thanks

I'd find a local repair shop and ask how much they'd charge for both options, parts and labour and just labour. Then you can decide what the best option is.

I went to one, and they said they would have to carry out an inspection procedure which would cost me £20 if I chose not to do it

go somewhere else, somewhere less eager to grab your money at any opportunity.
however.
lots of people have already taken their one x's apart. there are some repair guides around as well.
i've taken phones apart before and laptops and xbox's etc, i always have that feeling that i'm gonna break something. i didn't. the key is just to be extremely careful. and read any tear down guides, watch youtube videos before actually attempting it.
make sure you use the right tools.
personally i'd do it myself. the people at the repair centre, whilst not actually repairing the phone properly, i think they replaced the screen, as they took out a small chunk of the original housing. not professional at all.
i feel that because it's yours, you'll be a lot more careful than some idiot monkey doing it for you at ridiculous cost.
I just repaired mine, and it's not that hard there are lots of guides of how to disassemble the phone on youtube.
Just get the one that suits you and do it yourself. you may need some guitar picks to pry it (medium ones do the first job then use thin ones to open the sides) U need a small screwdriver and mmm that's pretty much all the tools you need.
Get the pieces i want to change mine, just one thing. The screens they sell online are not as the original, the one with the phone is completely adhered causing a black screen appearance, the ones they sell are like grayish and have bubbles when you hard press them. since they are not heat adhered.
Good luck

You can buy a special opening tool for the case very cheaply.
I browsed all the replacement parts on ebay and emailed all the sellers asking if they were genuine htc products and exactly the same as you would get on a new phone, and I've picked the ones that said yes.
A question I have is what I got this phone, it had bad screen flex and discolouration. If I manage to pull off the repair perfectly, will it be flawless?
Thanks again
HTC One X CM10 EPRJ
Depends on the screen you get I'm afraid, word of warning : I've read that people have been asking ebay sellers if it's genuine, they answered yes. So they ordered the product and it turned out to be not genuine be careful. I'd buy from somewhere else if possible like an online shop etc, someone might be able to give advice on where from
Answer to your question is: this isn't reliant on your repairing skills, it's based on what screen you buy to replace it with.
Because you're buying new housing as well, this should be quite risk free in a way for you, cause if you damage the old screen or housing when trying to get it apart it doesn't matter much.
The screen flex (not quite sure here) might be the screen not being in the housing properly, so could be fixed from your best set of repairing hands lol

If they say it's genuine and it isn't, you can either get a refund from them or get ebay to sort it out for you.

yeah it's good to have that buyer protection, it definitely does the job. main reason i say is that i read somebody had bought screens from 7 different sellers on ebay, after they said it was genuine when it wasn't (something like that) and had to get every single one sent back and refunded. its just not worth the hassle imo
How would I know it's a genuine HTc screen?

tricky one to be honest - i guess the best way is to either try and obtain one from htc themselves, or find a reputable shop, that you've used before that sells it. i'll have a look at some point to see if i can find any anywhere. of course this is still no guarantee that it's genuine, which brings us back to square 1
If it looks genuine, has gorilla glass (you can tell if you look at it from a sharp angle) and is high quality, then who cares if it is genuine htc? It won't affect resale value

I'm not saying don't buy it, it is your choice of course, the main reason for genuine is the quality of the screen it self. Ie the colour reproduction, whether the glass was laminated properly to the lcd and if it has glue spots or yellow spots or just not a very clean finish. Or maybe the glass isn't as thin and the touch response isn't as sensitive as it used to be, also not giving the effect of the screen sorta popping out of the glass
I'm not sure if you've read this or not, this may well still be happening, but htc were using two different manufacturers for the screens, which when put side by side (you wouldn't notice otherwise) they had different colours just slightly, like one had a warmer colour, like not quite bright white but more yellowish I think it was. And they were the genuine ones (this doesn't help my argument I know) my point is though, if the genuine ones were like that, imagine just how bad they can be when not genuine
I haven't had to experience it myself, I don't know if these screens really are that much worse than genuine ones, but everything I've read suggested that they are worse, don't say I didn't warn ya! I wish you luck with it though, do let us know how the replacement goes etc

Hi I'm wondering where I could source a replacement screen for this device as none of my local phone repair shops seem to be able to source one

Here you go and good luck with the replacement
P.S.

Has anybody got a reliable source? There seems to be a global shortage of these bloody screens and besides the official Lenovo replacement costing 90% of the price of the phone, there are no other options available anywhere. Nothing on AliExpress, BangGood, Alibaba, eBay and anywhere else in my coutry.

+1. Cracked my screen last week, still fully functional but crack pattern is expanding and I don't trust it to be usable for a long time to come.
Been searching for replacement screen assembly but found nothing. Going to try contacting Lenovo technical support in my country now...
Lenovo tech support pointed me to a repair firm.
Repair firm asks to send the phone in, after which they provide a quote. If I don't agree to get it fixed, I have to pay a few tens for problem analysis. Like wtf, it's a cracked screen, you change it, it's a standard job with a standard cost that you can give me before I send it in!
Called another repair firm. They can't get the screen.
Apparently these screens are just not available.
They are on Aliexpress right HERE.
Expensive as hell though, considering you can get a new P2 for 180 euro's or a new screen for 160.

Thanks, that one is gone again though. And yeah at that price it's ridiculous.
But I've just found this: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/For-...lgo_pvid=b8eb5b04-c098-4a2b-a5ea-f9e34e6da00f
$113, which amounts to €94, with free shipping. This seems acceptable.

Well, the seller had just one of them so I bought it. Now let's hope my cracked screen stays functional for the time it takes to get the new screen here...

Seems like nowhere.
The order I made on aliexpress was subsequently cancelled because of it being "out of stock".
Options at this point seem limited to:
1. get it fixed for stupid money (not even sure whether any fixing service can get their hands on it)
2. try to locate a damaged second-hand phone with working screen you can buy for less
3. if your LCD and touch input still work fine like mine, just put up with it and wait for some months until people start upgrading and the asking prices for second-hand models start to drop
4. meanwhile, search on aliexpress or ebay every single day and hope a screen gets available for an acceptable price
I dropped my phone yesterday and the screen shattered from end to the other but the phone is working fine. I have just ordered the replacement front glass off of ebay for £19.99 from HK but seems a bit too cheap to me but worth a gamble at that price. Only problem is I have no idea how to take the phone apart and separate the glass from the digitizer! Are there instructions about I could follow or is my best bet taking it to a mobile phone repair shop to get it done?
I can post the ebay number if anyone is interested.

You tube. Check the entire display removal tutorial. Then check glass replacement tutorial for galaxy s8.
After taking off display, you have to chip off the glass from display after heating it with a hot air gun. Then remove the residual UV glue from panel. Then after making sure panel is clean, apply new UV glue on center, then place glass on top and then press from center gently to spread the glue evenly and that's it.

Thank you but i'm never going to manage to do that myself, I don't own a hot air gun for a start. Looks like i've wasted £20 plus the postage as I doubt i'll find a mobile phone repair shop to do it for me, i'd happily pay someone to do it if I could find someone!
Just before 2 months I was gifted a Samsung s8.
I made it my primary device for a while.
As you know there is nothing you can do with Samsung phones in terms of customization, changing ROMs and also my new S8 screen broke recently.
I again want to use by Z2.
My Z2 was with my brother. He used it quite hard.
Front glass is cracked, touch is working. And also Back glass is cracked.
Any idea to replace those as cheapest as possible.
I want my phone to shiny and not cracked and I don't want to use skins. Just want a clean shiny, glassy device.

Easy enough, Its just white plastic with silver ZUK logo. Linky
The back is glued on so hair dryer or heat gun needed and it will lift off.
Most use B-6000 or B-7000 glue to put back on.
If you are from India, its cheaper and easier to try OLX or Quikr to find one used device. Not all people are familiar with custom rom & true capabilities of Z2 Plus so if you look hard, you can find a good scratchless device within 2.5k easily !!
Rather than paying high charge to repair it from Lenovo authorized service center, its cheaper to buy a second hand device.
Thanks.
Hey,
I also had broke my back glass recently, and i got a replacement from my local market for around ₹200.
Also i had paid a visit to the Lenovo official service center, and they quoted ₹2200, only for the back glass, and they had a doubt if it could be replaced as the model is out of production.
I would suggest you to buy it from local market, but keep in mind to check if the back sits properly into the phone as many back glass don't sit properly on the Indian variants of the Zuk Z2 plus.
And being for the screen lenovo charges around ₹6000-7000, if screen is available in stock. So i would prefer to go to the local market for this too, which would hardly cost you much. [Around ₹1500-2000].
